Buy Crushed Stone in Kennewick, Washington

The most common mistake buyers make when ordering crushed stone is picking the wrong size for the job. The correction is to match each stone's purpose to its intended use: a paver base needs a different size than a French drain.

Kennewick gets about 9 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage and washout planning are still relevant for your project. The low annual rainfall means your crushed stone base is less likely to get saturated than it would in wetter climates.

Kennewick conditions that affect your crushed stone project

Kennewick sees about 27 days a year with at least a tenth of an inch of rain. That means you can schedule your crushed stone delivery onto firm ground most of the time, but wet days do happen and can affect compaction if you are working during a rainy spell.

About 105 days a year drop below freezing, which affects the work window and how much the ground moves during freeze-thaw cycles. Winters here are cold enough to move an unsettled base, so compaction is worth the extra pass.

Soils mapped in the Kennewick area are commonly well drained, which means you might need more or less base stone under the surface layer depending on the exact site. The ground around Kennewick takes water in at a moderate rate, so standard base depth is usually enough for most projects.

Frequently asked questions about crushed stone in Kennewick

What is the smallest load of crushed stone you deliver to Kennewick?

The smallest load we deliver is one ton. That is about the volume of a small SUV, enough for a small paver project or a French drain repair. Orders are placed in whole tons.

Does the soil around Kennewick change how much crushed stone I need?

Ground freezing here is real but moderate. That means the base layer needs to be deep enough to avoid frost heave, which can increase the amount of crushed stone needed in some areas. The well-drained soil in much of Kennewick often means a standard base depth is sufficient.

What size crushed stone should I choose?

The size depends on the project. For a driveway base, 3/4" crushed stone works well. For a French drain, use #57. For a paver setting bed, use 3/8". If you are unsure, the job table on this page can help you match the right size to your project.

Do you deliver to rural addresses outside the city limits?

Yes, we deliver to rural addresses in Benton County and beyond. The delivery site needs a road width of at least 12 feet for the dump truck. If your road is narrow, the crew will unload as close as they safely can.
